    The Great Chipper Scandal

    What's with the putting the chips in the bag and then pouring the vinegar over and giving the bag a quick shake, thereby ensuring uneven distribution of said vinegar? It really gets me goat. I had chipper in the UK recently and they lay the chips out flat, sprinkle the vinegar evenly and then...

    Best Before Dates

    How rigorous are you when it comes to these? I'm really really fussy and won't consider eating/drinking anything past the best before date. Its just a 'thing' I have and I know I'm over the top about it but its almost become a phobia now. I watched a programme recently about a guy who, for...

    Something Stinks

    My friend’s younger sister works in a big retail store part time while she’s at college. She works with a guy in his late 20’s who is a little bit strange and has a really bad hygiene problem whereby he absolutely stinks of bo. He also keeps snakes and smells of snakey stuff too. He has been...

    Bleedin Habitat

    So, yes I am very sorry for the people who have lost their jobs and their closure in Ireland is a worrying development but first and foremost I'm most concerned about being out of pocket for funriture I have paid for in full and not yet received!! Anyone know anything about voluntary...

    Begging at the Luas Stop

    Has anyone noticed the recent enough appearance of a group of kids (I think there are 3 of them) no older than 7 or 8 begging at the Luas stop at St. Stephen's Green? There's no sign of any adults around and they are there at random times and often during school hours. I've seen the women with...

    Art Deco Buildings

    Jane mentioned in the library thread that her library is an art deco building so I thought I'd start another thread. Myself and the boyfriend are a little obsessed with original art deco buildings and art deco inspired architecture and have found a few around Dublin. Can anyone point me in the...

    Exercise/Fitness Levels

    How much exercise do you all get and do you reckon you are fit? I cycle 3 -4 days a week (round trip of 1hr 15 minutes ish each day) and I do two, hour long brisk walks at the weekend with the dog. I reckon I'm pretty fit but I go through periods of getting a bit obsessed and wanting to be...

    Mint Restaurant

    Did anyone see the documentary on the attempts of Dylan McGrath, the chef in Mint Restaurant in Ranelagh to get a Michelen star? It wasn't bad. He's an incredibly intense guy and is of the Gordon Ramsey, screaming and cursing at his staff ilk. I just couldn't warm to him in anyway. Has anyone...

    Hooky fake djing

    http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/35591/Peter_Hook%E2%80%99s_fake_DJing_exposed God love him. He looks like he's off his twizzle. The second one is funny, marching around on the spot and marching over to his cd bag but not getting anything out and his contrived 'dj gestures'!

    The Burds and the Bees

    Does anyone remember the 'official' talk they had with their parents in relation to the old sex education? I remember my mother thrust a book called 'Girls Talk' into my hand and told me to read the first few chapters regarding periods and what those burgeoing molehills on my chest were and to...

    Architects (Dublin area)

    Myself and my boyfriend have just gone sale agrred on a house (woo hoo) which needs a lot of work, including a 1st floor extension to the rear. I've been looking around at some architects websites to get an idea of some of their designs but most of the websites just show their commercial stuff...

    Mozzarella

    Oh wow, am I in love with this right now and foreva. Up to last year my only experience of mozzarella was those balls of it in the bags of fluid which are tasteless and rubbery, or even worse, the grated yellow coloured stuff for putting on pizzas. Then I went to France and had the most sexy...

    For the Love of the Children

    I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to marriage. Maybe one day I'd like to but right now I'm happy to co-habiting with my boyfriend. The thing is, we would quite possibly like to have a baby in the next couple of years and this will quite possibly happen outside of marriage. From talking...

    (Not so) Firm Friends

    So, long story short I had ongoing issues with a friend's boyfriend, and over a year ago I confronted her and him about it (drunkenly, which wasn't the best idea, but...) and it didn't go down well. Since then, I haven't spoken to her boyfriend but her and I had it out and we are 'cool'...

    Brussell Rand

    Russell Brand is doing a stand up show here in July and the tickets are €40. I not a huge fan but I've heard he does a good stand up show and I always said if he came here I'd go to see him, but €40 is a bit steep. So, would you pay €40 to see him?
